I missed that part. No harm, no foul, though, because--at least in the US--MS isn't legally required to do anything like that and if someone said differently, they're either lying or ignorant. There's no law like that in the US for the same reason that state laws banning sales to M rated games to minors have been consistently ruled as unconstitutional.

Wow. Just, wow. The author to that article must've really had his feelings hurt when PA refused donations from Retake Mass Effect (RME). I don't think the author could've been more a spiteful and angry at everyone. And feeling impotent because there's not much he could do, he rages at EA. He doesn't seem to understand the difference between RME taking money in some vague promise that if enough money was raised, BioWare would be forced to change the ending of Mass Effect--even though there's no way in hell any amount of money would've changed anything--and EA saying if you buy this DLC, we'll make a donation to Child's Play. There's a friggin' huge difference there.

Sometimes, I really hate gamers. The fact that EA was even nominated for "Worst Company in America" shows how little perspective they have.
